Nine of Asia’s top 50 restaurants are in Hong Kong. Yippee!
The results of the annual ranking of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants were announced last night in Singapore, with Gaggan, an Indian restaurant in Bangkok, handed the the number one spot.
Top of Hong Kong’s list was Amber, a French restaurant in The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, which dropped from fourth place last year to sixth place this year.
Italian 81/2 Otto E Mezzo Bombana won first prize in our rankings for the Most Stupid Name, but climbed from 10th place last year to eight place this year in the restaurant rankings.
The biggest climber, however, was Japanese eatery Tenku RyuGin in Tsim Sha Shui, which just scraped in at 50th place last year, but doubled its efforts to secure 24th this year.
Other Hong Kong winners include L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Fook Lam Moon, The Chairman, Bo Innovation, Caprice and Lung King Heen.
Launched in 2013, the awards are compiled from more than 300 industry votes across Asia. In short, everyone’s probably just voting for their mates.
